Title: Digital code conversion arrangements
IPC: G11C29/00
Filed: 1974-05-01
Abstract: 1472885 Data processing INTERNATIONAL COMPUTERS Ltd 6 March 1975 [1 May 1974] 18988/74 Heading G4A A code conversion arrangement comprises two memories 21, 22 addressed by respective portions of an input code, the output code being derived from the information read-out from the two addressed locations. The arrangement is described as being for deriving addresses of locations in an auxiliary memory (13), Fig. 1 (not shown), which are replacements for faulty locations in a main memory (1), but application to virtual to real address translation and instruction decoding is also mentioned. As each new faulty location in the main memory is detected, a data source 25, e.g. a counter, a Lash coder operating on the input address or a preloaded memory, enters information into the addressed locations in memories 21, 22 and also into a further memory 23 which is addressed by the contents of the location addressed in memories 21, 22. The contents of the location addressed in memory 23 forms the address of the required replacement location in the auxiliary memory. As a simple example, addresses of faulty memory locations 47, 19 and 27 might result in values of 1, 2 and 3 being stored in locations 4, 7; 1, 9; and 2 of memories 21, 22, the value "3" not being stored in location 7 of store 22 because it already contains a non-zero value. The values 1, 2 and 3 would then be stored in locations 11, 22 and 31 of memory 23. The memories may be semi-conductor memories with a faster access time than the main memory, e.g. a core memory. The number of memories may be increased, e.g. a 4-2-1- array may be used instead of memories 21-23. Memory 23 may be replaced by a comparator and logic circuits if a certain loss of uniqueness can be tolerated, e.g. false response can be avoided by a checking routine.

Abstract: 629,704. Ticket-issuing machines. BELL PUNCH CO., Ltd., and WEBB, C. F. July 16, 1947, No. 19013. [Class 106 (iii)] Apparatus for storing and manually issuing pre-printed tickets comprises a magazine for holding a supply of tickets in a, continuous zig-zag or roll, locking means to prevent rearward movement of the ticket strip and manually releasable means for holding the ticket strip against forward movement past a tear-off point during tearing off of a ticket. In the described embodiment a zig-zag ticket strip 12, Fig. 3, passes over a roller 15 under rollers 16, 17 and between guides 43 to a tear-off point 14 at the edge of the base 8. A pawl 24, pivoted at 21, is spring-urged against the ticket strip to prevent rearward movement and a similar pawl 25, pivoted at 29 and urged by the same spring 33, prevents forward movement of the strip until a member 34 is rocked counterclockwise by a thumb or finger about its pivot 35, whereupon rod 38 on the member 34 engages an abutment 37 on the pawl 25 and lifts the latter out of engagement with the ticket strip which can then be pulled forward. The re-engagement of the pawl 25 is prevented by an arm 40, Fig. 4, integral with the member 34, and comprising a feeler 41 which rides on the surface of the ticket during the forward feeding, maintaining the counterclockwise displacement of the member 34. At the end of each ticket length, however, a perforation is provided which the feeler 41 enters, thus releasing the pawl 25 and locking the ticket strip against further movement during the tearing-off operation. A number of units, each for a different ticket denomination, may be arranged in columns and rows supported by rollers 48, Fig. 1. Spring-urged flaps 50 prevent the ingress of dust and provide surfaces for labelling the various ticket containers. Slots 54 in the outer casing co-operate with lugs on the removable units to provide quick-release locking means.

Title: Improvements relating to electro-plating, more particularly of ferrous-metal surfaces
IPC: C25D5/36
Filed: 1951-08-14
Abstract: 700,535. Electrodeposition of metals. PEACH, A. L. Aug. 14, 1951 [Aug. 21, 1950], No. 19138/51. Class 41. In electro-plating more particularly of ferrous metal surfaces a coat of lead or lead-alloy is deposited solely by electrolytic means, on to the article to be treated, prior to its being electroplated with nickel, or nickel and chromium. The lead alloy is preferably an alloy of lead and tin, but may be composed of lead and antimony. An article of ferrous metal is first smoothed and then treated as cathode in an electrolytic bath comprising 6 ozs. of trisodium phosphate per gallon of water. The article is then rinsed in fresh water and, if necessary, lightly scoured. It is then subjected to etching, either thermically in a bath of sulphuric acid or hydrochloric acid, or electrochemically, with the article as anode in a bath of sulphuric acid. A thin coating of nickel or copper may be applied, the article being next electro-plated in an aqueous bath containing lead as fluosilicate in hydrofluosilicic acid, lead as perchlorate in perchloric acid solution containing peptone, or lead carbonate in hydrofluoric solution containing boric acid and glue. The anodes may be of lead only, of lead and tin, or of lead-tin alloy. The plated article is polished and returned for cathodic treatment in the solution of trisodium phosphate. The article may be made anodic for 10 seconds before removal. It is then rinsed and immersed in nitric acid solution, rinsed again and is then suitable for nickel plating. A layer of copper may be applied to the lead or lead-alloy layer before nickel plating. For the plating of zinc or zincbearing alloys a suitable alkaline lead bath contains lead oxide and caustic soda or other alkali.

IPC: G08C15/02
Filed: 1968-04-23
Abstract: 1,205,279. Digital transmission systems. ENGLISH ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. 22 April, 1969 [23 April, 1968], No. 19162/68. Heading H4P. In a binary frequency shift transmitter, transients in the transmitted signal are minimized by changing the oscillator frequency at a fixed point of the waveform of the current frequency, e.g. at a positive-going zero amplitude transition. Mark and space bits at respective inputs 6, 7, together with the differentiated output of Schmitt trigger 9, control bi-stable 5 which switches oscillator 4 from one frequency to the other. The resulting frequency shift signal passes to line via a filter 8 and also to the trigger 9. The differentiated output of the trigger consists of a pulse at each zero-level transition in the transmitted signal, and prevents the binary data at 6, 7 from switching bi-stable 5 until the occurrence of such a pulse corresponding to the first positive-going transition in the current frequency to follow a change in bit state.

Abstract: 328,161. Wistoft, S. Oct. 19, 1928, [Convention date]. Delivery of articles stored in piles. - In a coin-freed winding machine of the type in which on a pivoted door 4 or other opening member formed with a pocket 6 being operated a goods packet is discharged from the goods tube 3 into a hopper 7 from which it passes to the pocket 6 when the opening member returns to its closed position, the blocking of the machine by goods packets accumulating in hopper by the omission of the, operator to empty the pocket is prevented by effecting the removal of the packets from the tube 3 by an arm 18 which is pivoted to a lever 11 and has a projecting pin 24 resting on a shoulder 22 formed on a lever 12. The lever 11 is connected by a link 16 to the door 4 and the levers 11, 12 normally move together when the door 4 is opened owing to a spring 19 maintaining the lever 12 with its projecting pin 21 engaging the lever 11. A flanged plate 15 limits the normal movement of the lever 12. If however a packet remaining in the pocket 6 causes the previously discharged packet to be retained in the hopper a forward extension 14 on the lever 12 engages the packet in the hopper the next occasion the door is opened and arrests the lever 12. The pin 24 on the arm 18 consequently slides over the shoulder 22 and the arm 18 assumes a position in which it fails to remove a packet from the tube 3. When the door is again closed the packet in the hopper drops into the pocket 6 and renders the machine ready for normal operation.
